What is the correct size drain plug on an ACC radiator?

I bought the 26" radiator from ACC. Mine didn't come with a plastic plug nor a petcock for the drain. ACC told me on the phone he doesn't know the thread size. He guessed about M12 after I told him a 1/4 NPT doesn't fit.

The correct thread size is metric M12 x 1.25. Here's the part number for the plastic drain petcock and the transmission cooler line fittings.

They're Made In China. But the quality is top notch, fitment, tanks, finishes, and beautiful welds. Especially, compared to the Griffin I just returned.

Sadly, the drain hole is directly in line with the passenger side strut rod and the petcock interferes with the threads preventing the radiator from dropping in all the way.
